Back to BasicsBack to Basics believes that a multi-cultural community requires a unique approach to the training of child injury prevention and Pediatric first aid. Our tailored programmes are designed for parents and caregivers, considering both cultural and language barriers to maximise on the learning potential. We have consulted healthcare professionals, governing bodies and cross cultural psychologists to ensure we consider all essential factors of child safety and deliver them in the most effective way. We acknowledge that households rely greatly on home help where parenting styles, and focus on safety measures, can differ from country to country. Back to Basics presents you with a programme based on best practice and simple guidelines, which can massively impact the safety of your children in and around the home.
